Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of several accused under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC for the murders of Sanjeeva Reddy and Narsimha Reddy, affirming the Sessions Court's decision. The Court found that the accused had conspired and acted in furtherance of a common intention, leading to the brutal killings. The appeal against the High Court's confirmation of the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that collective culpability under Section 149 IPC applies when multiple individuals engage in a shared unlawful objective.
